A Loire Valley Wedding

It was a French-Iranian-German wedding in a small Mairie (City Hall) on the banks of the Loire river this Saturday. As everyone couldn't fit in the Mairie, the couple came to the window to exchange their wedding rings in front of the crowd of relatives and friends... So romantic! After leaving the Mairie, and being showered with rose petals thrown by the many children, they went for a spin in an old Citroen car, then joined everyone for a cocktail in the divine gardens of an aunt's house,with its ancient stone tower. The beautiful bride, with rose petals in her hair and the smile of happiness on her face, wore white satin Christian Louboutin shoes! To add some color to my otherwise demure outfit (Nina Ricci jacket, black Joseph skirt and vintage veiled hat) I chose NARS's pink lipstick Schiap - a little punk spirit here.Best wishes to my dear, dear friends!

hello! thank you for the sweet comments on my blog; it's nice to *meet* you!i too have the nars schiap, and have been known to break out the mac ruby woo on occasion also. you wear yours well, how lovely.

Ha! Hmmm... after your mentioning earlier of Anna Karenina, your comment back to me makes me think there is an (irony) and slight warning (about reading books and searching for dreams) but I will smile for the reminder. :)

FIFI - I have been t Switzerland but only to Geneva and Lausanne, not very exciting cities... Geneva is all banks and super posh hotels, really, though the lake is beautiful.I always forget to tell you how wonderful your peonies look in my mum's room (you know, she bought one of your pieces). We both love it! And peonies are my favorite flowers.
